Our Wedding

Finding the one felt like searching for Wi-Fi in the wilderness — weak signal and lots of buffering. I was almost ready to hang up my dating boots after too many “meh” dinners and awkward small talks… until she appeared — rocking black leggings and hiking boots, glowing like the main character in a movie set in the woods.So, I shot my shot:“Let’s imagine we’re in a rom-com. What’s the meet-cute scene that brings us together? 🤪🤪”And just like that, she played along — witty, playful, and absolutely magnetic. One message led to another, then a number exchange (because, let’s be honest, Facebook Dating isn’t where love stories end).From that moment on, everything just clicked — from our first chat to this very moment, walking hand in hand toward the happiest plot twist ever. 💍✨

Party At The LDS Church in Redlands CA.

Wow, what a journey it’s been! Back in April 2013, right after my Full Time mission in Ghana, Abraham and I crossed paths and became friends. Since then, our bond has blossomed into something truly special, like that of brothers. I love you Brother, and thank you for your tremendous support for our wedding. You’re the true friend that anyone can truly count on. That’s what a true relationship is. Someone you can count on and you’re one of a gene among few.🎉 

Mr. Ab Kanneh 

Mr. Livingston and I became friends through his wonderful wife, who was a dear friend of mine at the time. When she introduced us, a beautiful friendship blossomed, and now they are cherished family friends. I am thrilled that he has agreed to be a part of my special day, even flying all the way from Rhode Island. His commitment and sacrifice mean the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for his support in making our day unforgettable. Thank you, Mr. Livingstone, from the bottom of our hearts. 

Mr. Livingston

Mr. Karmala, you’ve been such a wonderful and committed friend. I still vividly recall our journey together. I’m delighted that we’re united across the globe, maintaining our relationship. Additionally, you’re a person who always comes to the rescue when needed. We truly appreciate you and your family’s unwavering support. We genuinely value everything you’re doing to make our day a successful one.

Thank you so much, Brother. 

Mr. Karmala

Randall, you’re a bundle of sweetness and hard work! Your family is just as delightful, and your soulmate wife has been our rock throughout this wedding whirlwind. We’re so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us. We adore you and are bursting with pride at your incredible love and sacrifices. Your last-minute heroics to be part of our wedding just show what an amazing person you are—always ready to lend a hand! And let’s not forget, thank you for letting us crash in your Trailer Joe’s! You’re the best! 

Mr. Silva

Dear Mr. Kamara,

Your exceptional character has left an indelible mark on my life. I vividly recall your arrival on campus during my tenure as your mentor. Your eagerness to immerse yourself in your new community fostered a profound friendship between us.

Your unwavering support has been invaluable, and when I sought your assistance in selecting a groom’s man, you readily accepted the responsibility without hesitation or reservation. Your humility and remarkable qualities have made you an indispensable part of our celebration.

Thank you for your invaluable contribution to the success of our day.

Sincerely,
Boss 

Mr. Joseph Allan Kamara

I extend my sincere gratitude for your willingness to step in and provide support. Despite the short notice, you promptly answered the call, demonstrating your exceptional commitment and reliability. Queenieweenie is fortunate to have you in her life, and she is undoubtedly a remarkable individual. Your presence will make our day a resounding success, even though yours is only two weeks after ours. As you have elevated our celebration, I am confident that your own will be equally memorable. Thank you once again for your invaluable contribution. 

Mr. Sorensen

Mrs. Silva, the beloved sister of the bride, has been our personal sunshine since the moment we got engaged. From day one, she showed up with the biggest heart, the sweetest energy, and a level of excitement that could power the entire wedding. Her love, support, and encouragement have been nonstop, and honestly… this journey would not be the same without her.
As the youngest of the Easler family and Laura’s baby sister, Lyndy has mastered the art of loving BIG. Since our engagement, she has gone above and beyond—surprising bride-to-be with custom sweaters that proudly read “Future Mrs. Jarwee,” showering Laura with thoughtful Ms. to Mrs. gifts, and finding endless little ways to make this season feel extra special.
She’s even shared how, growing up, she sometimes wished she could have protected her big sister more—and when she heard we were engaged, she cried happy tears. Those tears said it all: pure joy, deep love, and excitement for Laura’s forever.
Lyndy brings laughter, warmth, and heart into every room she enters. She’s our built-in hype girl, our soft-hearted cheerleader, and proof that the youngest sibling is often the one with the biggest heart. We are beyond grateful for her love—and let’s be honest, every wedding needs a Lyndy to make it extra magical. 💃💕

Mrs. Silva

Ms. Bauer AKA Queenieweenie: Oh, what a fabulous friend you’ve been to the Bride! Your bond is so strong that it even inspired the Bride to pack her bags and head to Utah. That’s how magical your friendship is! You have shown endless support and fierce loyalty from day one. Your loving and fierce peer pressure to join Facebook Dating has made this day possible. For that, we are forever grateful.   We’re absolutely thrilled to have you as part of our special day, and guess what? Your big day is right after ours! Thank you, QueenieWeenie, for all the love and support over the years. We’re over the moon for you and can’t wait to celebrate together! 

Ms. Bauer (soon-to-be Sorensen)

She’s one sweet soul among the Sisters, and I’ve come to adore her. Her inquisitive nature makes me fall for her even more. Her curiosity about my country and culture has truly captivated me. I love you, Vicky, and thank you for letting us stay at your place and for your unwavering support throughout our wedding journey. We love you a bunch! 

Mrs. Velasquez

Juju the G.O.A.T. – Greatest Of All Time! She’s the ultimate sidekick, always ready to swoop in and save the day since day one. Juju, you’re like a superhero in disguise, going above and beyond with your awesomeness! I adore you, Juju! You’re as chill as a cucumber, and your support is like a warm hug on a rainy day. We love you to the moon and back! Honestly, being part of your family feels like winning the lottery of love. Thank you for everything, Juju! 💖

Ms. Miller

The Mother. Your nurturing presence in Laura’s life and the lives of your siblings is truly a blessing. You are an extraordinary person, who speaks profoundly and with a guiding light. Laura often shares how much your love and guidance have shaped her from such a tender age, and I am so grateful she has a sister like you who has stepped into the role of a mother. Since I met you and your family, I have been enveloped in nothing but warmth and love. Being part of the wonderful Easler family is a joy beyond words. What touches my heart the most is the unbreakable bond you all share. It is truly beautiful. Thank you for your unwavering support and love for our wedding. We cherish you deeply. Thank you. 

Mrs. Ferguson

You’ve been such an incredible friend, not just from our workdays but as the other half of our dynamic duo—two fierce Queens who share the same brain. Your support and companionship over the years have been my lifeline. You’re so thoughtful and caring, the “mom” of our group, always ready with a hug and a snack. Your laughter and positivity are like sunshine on a rainy day, bringing joy even when things get a bit stormy. Thank you for joining us to celebrate this amazing day and for sharing in our happiness. We can’t wait for a day filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Your presence is the cherry on top, and we’re so grateful for everything you do.

Junior GroomsMen

Tanner, my dear protector and laughter-bringer, your wit and grit are like a double espresso shot for the world! Thank you for being the trailblazing firstborn, paving the way for your siblings with your legendary dance moves. We can’t wait to see you set the dance floor ablaze at the wedding, possibly even inventing a new dance move or two! Love you to the moon and back, Your Favorite Aunt, Lulu.

Hey, my man! Our first FaceTime on your Aunt’s phone was a riot! You’ve got a light in you brighter than a disco ball at a 70s party. Keep shining, superstar! The entire Ferguson family is a bundle of awesomeness and sweetness, and you’re the Senior of the Juniors Groomsmen, leading the charge with style and humor. Can’t wait to see you rock that role! 

Tanner

Hey Zane!

You’re the life of the party and have the biggest heart! Your fun and adventurous spirit lights up every room. Thank you for spreading love and kindness wherever you go. We can’t wait for you to bring the fire to the wedding! Get ready to shoot those poses at the Photobooth, my friend! Your energy is contagious, and we love every bit of it. 

Congratulations on your graduation! Keep pushing forward, my man. The sky is your limit, and you bring light to even the darkest days. Keep shining brightly in the lives of everyone around you.

With all our love,
Aunt Lulu and Jarwee 

Zane 

Hey Gavin! 🎉 It’s been such a blast getting to know you since you wrapped up your full-time mission. Remember those early chats? They were like little adventures, and now that you’re back, it’s like the sequel is even better! 😄

I hope you’re still keeping that Mission spirit alive and kicking. You know, the one that makes you do the impossible and the unexpected. Speaking of unexpected, I can’t wait to see you bust out some epic dance moves on the wedding day, my man! 💃🕺 I have a feeling you’ve got some hidden talents up your sleeve, and I’m ready to be amazed!

Your Aunt and I adore you, even if you do seem a bit shy sometimes. But hey, that just makes you more charming! I’m personally super excited to get to know you even better. Let’s make some unforgettable memories together, Gav! 🥳

Catch you later, dance floor superstar! 

Gavin

Hey Mr. Small Velasquez, the silent ninja of coolness who could probably bench press a small car without breaking a sweat! You’re like the Batman of bros—quiet, mysterious, and always ready to save the day with a killer workout routine. I mean, who needs words when you can flex like that? 

Let’s spice things up and have a little Easler competition after the wedding. I’m talking about a showdown of epic proportions to see who can lift the most weight and earn the title of “Ultimate Bro.” Spoiler alert: I’m bringing my A-game, so you better be ready to rumble!

Thanks a million for agreeing to be part of our big day. Your family, the Velasquez, are like a fiesta on legs—full of life, laughter, and enough salsa to feed a small army. And let’s not forget the legendary reception in San Diego. I still can’t believe you let us crash your sleeping space for a couple of nights, turning you into a temporary nomad. You’re the real MVP, my friend!

But here’s the deal, Mr. Small Velasquez: this time, I want to see you tearing up the dance floor, not just being the strong, silent type. Let’s show everyone that you’ve got moves as impressive as your muscles. So, dust off those dancing shoes and get ready to boogie down with me, my man! 

Jaydon

Our dearest Zealand, our colorful, music-loving, thrift-shopping star! You bring so much joy and warmth everywhere you go. Your incredible taste in music, your fun habit of switching up your hair colors, and your friendly, welcoming spirit make you one of the most special people we know. 

We are beyond excited for you to be one of our junior groomsmen at our wedding! Aunt Lulu loves you to pieces, and I, Uncle Jarwee, feel so lucky to know and love you too. Even from the very first time I met you, your kindness and energy made me smile. We can’t wait to share this beautiful day with you, because you truly add the brightest sparkle to our lives!

All our love,
Aunt Lulu & Uncle Jarwee

Zealand

Jace, the man who bravely faced the balut with its partially developed embryo on Christmas Day, your facial expression never wavered until the balut was out. You’re the man, Jace. Honestly, since I’ve known you, you’ve always been such a quiet young man, and often, quiet people are those who are constantly thinking about positive things in their heads, especially those great ideas on how to make a lot of money. I won’t be surprised when you reach the top, young man. You’re going to be a beacon of light for all your sisters because you have the heart of a grown man. Keep up the good spirit, my young man. Your Aunt Laura and I love you dearly. We can already envision you looking like a shining star in your suit on that special day of ours. With special love, from me and your Aunt Laura.

Aunt Lulu thinks you’re the best nephew ever, and she loves playing Roblox with you. She says you’re going to be too busy when you grow up, so she’s making the most of every game you play together now. It’s so sweet that you always want to hang out with her!

And remember, your little brother Grayson loves playing with you too, so make sure to spend some time with him. We love you tons, Jameson!

Remember, you’ve got two super important jobs at our wedding: being the coolest kid ever and the Man of the day! We can’t wait to see you shine bright and grow up with us. Keep learning, keep smiling, and keep being you, my boy! 💖

With all our love, your favorite Uncle Jarwee and Aunt Lulu 🥰

It’s heartwarming how sentimental you are. Your knack for sharing special memories when talking about someone you love is truly touching. You’re always ready to lend a hand, and your smile is so contagious, it should come with a warning label: “May cause uncontrollable happiness.” We’re thrilled you’re in the wedding; you’re like the human version of a sunshine emoji! We love you so much. 

Love, Lulu and Uncle Jarwee

Hey The Velasquez Queen, you are such an amazing person. Your personality sends so much light wherever you are, like a beautiful sunrise that brightens everyone’s day. As your aunt, I am so incredibly proud of how responsible you are, especially at your age. It’s truly inspiring to see how you handle everything with such grace and maturity. I am so glad you love dancing; it brings so much joy and energy to your life, and it’s wonderful to see you pursue your passion with such enthusiasm. You are doing so much with your life right now, and you have the best parents who support you in every step of the way.

Hey there, my little superstar! You’ve zoomed from being a tiny bundle to a rockstar ready to take on the world! I can’t believe how fast you’ve grown. Remember those epic battles over who would tackle the mountain of dishes? And your sneaky trick of hiding trash and dirty dishes under your bed? 😂 We had our famous deal: dishes or no Walmart trip! You’ve always been a clever one, eager to spread your wings and be independent. But guess what? You’re still Daddy’s little baby at heart. When the time comes, you’ll be out there, conquering life like a champ. Thanks a million for being part of our big day. We love you to the moon and back, Kiddo! 🚀❤️

Mr. Ray has been a joy to get to know. Our first phone call began with him saying, “Lincoln, I have a problem with you,” and I braced for a reprimand—then he laughed and added, “My only problem is, you are in that freaking Utah.” It was hilarious and instantly put me at ease. Recently he texted, “Lincoln, I can’t wait for you to be my son‑in‑law,” which meant the world to me. He’s kind, funny, and generous, and I already feel like part of the family. I can’t wait to see him in his African suit on the big day.

Mr Ray

Mr. Ferguson is truly an incredible person. From the first day I met Laura, she spoke so highly of him, and after getting to know him I can honestly say he is exactly that and more. He’s quietly amazing—full of wisdom, calm strength, and genuine care for others.

I like to think of him as the husband of a future General Authority—Maria, of course.

Thank you for all your support throughout this journey. I especially appreciate the book you gave me for Christmas; “Rule #3” has stayed with me. You said your duty has been to make your daughter happy—and now that responsibility is mine. Then you added that your new duty is to make sure I actually do my duty… wow.

When I asked Randall and Josh if you were taking that responsibility seriously, they said the only tactic so far has been bribing you with excellent birria tacos. Don’t worry—I’m about to introduce you to some real Liberian food, and I might just make you forget all about that “duty” talk.

I’ve been reading your book and have saved the very last page to read after the wedding—it just feels right.

Thank you again for everything. I’ll see you at the altar.

Mr. Ferguson

Mr. Velasquez — where do I even begin? From day one I knew you’d married the favorite sister; I don’t know how you pulled that off, but I respect it. Beyond that, you’ve been nothing short of amazing: genuine, kind-hearted, and steady. You carry a calm presence while out in San Diego saving lives — that’s powerful. 

You’ve always opened your home to us with warmth and laughter, and I don’t feel like a guest anymore — more like family. Laura once told me how you met her at a party she wasn’t meant to be at and took her home right away; I like to think you were already protecting her — and for that moment, I’m grateful, because it led me to her.

Since you married the favorite sister, I’m expecting some special treatment going forward — at the very least, a permanent room and a reserved spot at the dinner table when the good food’s out. Truly, thank you for your kindness, your example, and the way you’ve welcomed me. I appreciate you more than you know.
